Advertising strategies have an important contribution in the development of brand personality by creating a potential that strengthens the personal bond with the target groups. In accordance with differentiation strategies, this process is nourished by the demand for the match of inspiring human characters with the brands in the course of consumer experiences. Social media has become one of the most effective marketing environments in human history, and building the brand personality through social media has become a dominant strategic approach for brands. An effective social media strategy is achieved with an appropriate match of the contents and the communication platforms with respect to the nature of these platforms having their own functional constraints and own cultural tendencies.
